Abstract: Epiquick (EPI) is a new ready to use patch test system with a set of 5 Finn Chambers on scanpor tape (FCS), filled with a standardized volume of the test material in pet. A multicenter trial comparing this system with the conventional one was performed. It was concluded that EPI is a suitable system for patch testing and yields comparable results to self-filled FCS. Major advantages are standardization of the filling volume and saving of time in the application procedure.
